I am trying to add a context sensitive help file to my program.
According to the VS Help I should use a HelpProvider control. But No
sych control exists in my toolbox and I do not find it as an add-in to
add.

Is the helpprovider only for desktop or is there one for compact
framework?

Is there another way I should display a help file?

Hey! I actually found the answer to this one myself.

I used the help.showhelp(parent,url) method.

Works like a charm!
